Have Gun, Will Travel

A Myrtle Beach teacher tried to introduce a new no gun left behind program this week and the whole towns gone batty.
Come on everybody and lets give the gal a break. She's not such a dummy. I once drove all the way to work without noticing that Chuck Norris was clinging to my hood. Everyone makes mistakes. It is odd that the gun didn’t fall off her hood though. Every time I put some of the neighborhood kids on the hood of my car they always fall off when I get up to about 45 mph.

A teacher at Myrtle Beach High School was suspended with pay after accidentally bringing a loaded gun to the school Tuesday morning, according to Horry County Schools spokeswoman Teal Britton.
``She was placed on administrative leave with pay, which is standard for any investigation that involves serious allegations,'' Britton said.
The school district does not release the names of employees involved in disciplinary actions, Britton said.
The teacher drove her husband's pickup truck to work Tuesday because the vehicle was being appraised, according to a police report. Her husband reminded her to remove the weapon from the car before going to work, Britton said.
``She did remove it, place it on the hood of the car and somewhere in the hurry scurry of loading the car, she forgot that it was there and drove to school,'' Britton said.
A visitor to the school saw the gun in its holster on the passenger's side of the hood just after 11 a.m. Tuesday and reported it to school authorities, Britton said. School security then searched the parking lot, found the car and the gun in its holster and on the hood of the car. Police then searched the teacher's car and personal affects, Britton said.
The woman told police that ``her husband carries a gun in his vehicle for hunting purposes, shooting snakes while hunting,'' the report states.
Police are investigating, according to Capt. David Knipes of the Myrtle Beach Police Department. He added that no charges have been filed.
Myrtle Beach High principal Nona Kerr held a staff meeting to tell faculty what had happened Tuesday afternoon, and Britton said she sent an automated phone message to parents to tell them about the incident Tuesday evening.
